Each page provides opportunities to practice coloring, cutting, and pasting--with a small picture of what the final product should look like to help children in assembly.

Tracing Letters & Numbers Worksheets

Educational worksheets to teach your children (preschool and kindergarten age) letters and numbers! These worksheets feature Standard Block Print (similar to Zaner-Bloser/ Manuscript), half with arrows, half without.
 

I created a whole slew of ABC and 123 tracing pages (can't you just hear the Jackson 5 singing in the background?) to teach my 4-year old how to write letters. She is so good at it now that she can copy words from anywhere--book covers, coloring books, magazines. This is a great resource if you homeschool or are preparing your young one for kindergarten. And it saves on ink by printing in gray, rather than black.

Cutting Shapes Exercise

Here is an activity to help your preschooler with shape identification, as well as helping to improve cutting skills. Children need plenty of practice using scissors before they enter kindergarten, and this is a great exercise for just that. Click on the image and save to your desktop (or click on the image to view it full size and then print).

Pre-K and Kindergarten Seasons Review

Looking for a way to help teach your preschooler or kindergartner the four seasons? Here's your answer!

I have a 9-page PDF file that is FREE! The first page (shown at right, click on image to view full size and save to desktop) lets your child practice writing the names of the four seasons, and provides fun pictures for your child to color.

The other 8 pages contain seasonal images for your youngster to color, cut out, and match with the correct season.

If you would like this free Seasons Review Booklet, just click here to download the PDF file in English (it's big...about 2 MB).

Quiet Activities & Puzzles

Looking for quiet activities to keep your toddler and young children busy? These are sure to do the trick!

Perfect for entertaining your kids: on road trips, during church meetings, Sacrament meeting, in waiting rooms, in hotel rooms, during nap time or quiet time, or anytime you need some peace and quiet.

Introducing 11 Quiet Activities & Puzzles accented with exciting colors teach your children creativity and problem solving!
  • Harmonizes left-brain and right-brain, turning them into better students with better grades.
  • Entertains them in a skill-building, proactive way, as opposed to the spectator sport of TV and mindless movies.
  • Children constructively occupied have a lot less time and inclination to disobey...which sure makes being a mom a lot more enjoyable.
  • Gives children a head start and competitive edge when they start school.

Given the choice, wouldn't you rather have a child who enjoys entertaining themselves by doing things that develop their brain, creativity and eye-hand coordination...than to always be providing spectator entertainment that leaves them without any sense of accomplishment or self-worth?


Simply slip the main activity/puzzle page into a heavy sheet protector (or laminate), laminate the small pieces and cut out, and use velcro or double-sided tape to make the pieces stick. When the smaller pieces are not in use, I just slide them into an envelope and slide the envelope into the sheet protector.
